    I have made up what I think is a new challenge, though it incorporates some rags to riches with legacy rules. I call it the Hermit Challenge. Please tell me what you think. Sincerely AkiniSims

    SIMS 4 Hermit challange Rules

    IN THE BEGINNING
    The theme must be earthy tones, green, browns, since your living off the land till you can afford a house and shop.
    you must have the outdoor enthusiast goal, you must have loves outdoors and creative traits the third trait is up to you.
    you have a male teen on normal lifespan, once he reaches young adult you may turn off aging.
    you can buy herb books, baking books and woodworking table, you can buy the easil if you can afford it and either the cot or tent and campfire with one outside chair with the money from your sims. Whatever is left over must be taken away with testingcheats true/on then type in money 0. Control Alt Shift brings up the cheat bar at the top.

    You must get at least 1 or more behaviour to max to get a trait like responsible as a teen
    you can start working on writing and herbalism skill as a teen or wait till you are young adult.
    you may have a job as a teen but not as a young adult or adult. As a young adult you can collect any rock or plant. get money from the books you publish and paints you sell

    The first girlfriend you can marry but you can only marry once. you may move in any girl but you cannot marry them unless its the first marriage. You can not move in a wife and gf or two gf at once. you have to live with one woman at a time. With each woman you move in you keep whatever money or belongings she has and sell whatever is not useful.
    once the wife or gf have children you can kill off the wife or move out the wife. You can kill any gf's you may have after the first wife. you keep all the kids and raise them however you wish.

    I chose the baking skill, writing, painting, herbalism. you don't need to have the baking. my first wife was a vampire so she was easy to kill off.
    The challenge is like black widow meets runaway teen meets rags to riches the difference is you must have a male sim.

    THE HOUSE
    you cannot have a house till your raise the money to build one with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and a room for your woodworking/painting/computer through the money you earn selling collectables or your published work. you may have an easel if you can afford it and sell off your paintings. You must live in a wooded area. or make it look like a forest. You cannot live in Forgotten Hallow.
    Once you have a shack, then raise the money for the land where the shop goes, the cheapest one is 1,500 semolian's plus the money to build the shop/bakery/restaurant. So raise about a total of 10k for land and shop.

    THE GOAL
    The goal of the challenge is to raise enough money to build a store/restaurant/café and build your dream home or get the most expensive mansion with the most rooms for your 7 kids. The house goes to the first born and he or she can start the challenge. Any other kids after the first born may be moved out once they hit teens or young adult. All teens must have a job. If any children die or are taken away you lose the challenge. you must have 7 sims at all times until you have a 7 bedroom mansion and all the sims of the 100th generation are vampires with the Herbalism, Master Vamp, Family Vamp Aspiration. The last person of the last generation must then kill or turn back all the vampires in his or her family. The last person of the last generation can have any Aspiration as long as it helps them kill the rest of its family. If it is turned or dies before completing its goal then you lose.

    Once pets comes out I may revise the rules to allow one pet in the family which would make 6 kids one adult and one dog/cat. Also I may allow one of the kids to be a vet as long as its not the first born. The heir can help run the shop and any teens that you may have can run the shop.

    Other News and Reminders:

    Just a reminder, I've noticed that a lot of authors are Following the Stories and Legacies Index on Wordpress without submitting their own Simlit site to be part of the directory listing! This is of course fine -- submitting your story site to the directory is completely optional, and anyone is welcome to Follow the Stories and Legacies Index blog to receive news and updates from the Simlit story community, but I just wanted to make sure that no one was confused and thought that Following was a requisite for getting your site listed with the Stories and Legacies Index. The only way to have your site added to the Stories and Legacies Index listing is to fill out the submission form located on the front page of the Stories and Legacies Index, just below the Guidelines. Once the submission form is filled out and submitted, the information is e-mailed to me, and your site information will be added the next time I update the index (this can take approximately a week to two weeks), and you'll get a mention in my next newsfeed. There have been a few rare occassions where Wordpress has eaten a submission form, so if you know you submitted a form and it was not added in a recent update, feel free to PM me the information listed on the form and I'll do my best to rush your entry. Note that only those story sites that are listed with the Stories and Legacies Index are featured in the Stories and Legacies Index newsfeeds. Thanks!

    Yes I am a slow writter for my bsides and short stories because it demands a lot of works and a lot of gameplay hours before finding something to write,that's why this blog isn't very feed and I rarely post on. Thank you for the shoutout @mastressalita I always consider this blog as on hiatus.
    Follow and read Miss V Detective (ts3 story)

    Thanks for the shoutout! Swapping photoshop images (tr: grey banners demanding money) for imageshack ones is so frustrating! And takes ages too - anyone else stuck doing this at the moment?

    As a librarian, two of my greatest loves in life are reading stories and archiving information into a meaningful and easy-to-use fashion. As a Simmer, I love reading (and creating!) stories that follow Sim creations going about their lives within the various worlds of the Sims games. But it can be a bit overwhelming; there are a multitude of great sites out there dedicated to storytelling using Sims games, but I haven't found any place that acts as a proper hub to bring these sites together, and make it easy to navigate between them and bring more exposure to budding authors.

    That is why I have founded the Stories and Legacies Index, a virtual library located on Wordpress which aims to catalogue every user-submitted website focused around storytelling using any of The Sims games. Currently it has over 350 links in its main listing, and another 250 links in its archive listing.

    What can you do at the Stories and Legacies Index?
    • Get an organized, alphabetical listing of Sim stories and Let's Plays;
    • Find a listing of completed stories, short stories, and collaborative projects;
    • Use the Subject Search to get a listing of stories by author name, game version, challenge, genre, or subject;
    • Check the References section for a great selection of threads around these forums for the Simlit enthusiast;
    • Feeling artistic? Feel free to submit link-back banners or badges or banner art for the rotating banner art gallery!

    Why should you add your story to the The Stories and Legacies Index?
    • Your story will be listed in the largest single directory of Simlit, which attracts readers of Simlit for its ease of use to discover new reading material;
    • Attention will be brought to any new stories, completed stories, or other writing milestones you reach on the Stories and Legacies Index nightly newsfeed and Stories and Legacies Index Gateway threads on the Sims forum;

    The Stories and Legacies Index - Discover links to over 600 Sim stories, get updates and news on registered stories, and submit your own Sim stories to the listing!




    Why can't they use an upload from the game? Like in the Sims 2, i love sims so much but barely play now because my biggest fun in game was writing legacy stories and uploading for people to read, I am not computer savvy and I hate having to use word press or any other site ... :disappointed:

    Hey @Baristatye ! The stories and legacy index has been on a hiatus for a while now. Last active I believe in October/November of last year. :)

    Is there a new or another index where writers can list their stories so people can be aware of them? I am meanwhile in the 3rd generation of a legacy-type SimLit story but getting the word out that there is such a story is tough. This would help me.

    Hi... I'm new to the forums, and I didn't even know that SimLit was a thing, and last month I spent most of the month starting a blog to write about my Sims' lives... I can't believe I started doing that and then stumbled on this forum and SimLit... so anyway, I'm trying to follow the above advice and share the link in a forum post so that people can go read if they want, and I can't actually start a new thread. I tried to find the rules for posting, and I can't find anything that says why I can't start a discussion... I can only comment on current discussions. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

    Nevermind about my previous post... right after I posted it, I found a message that explains everything about newbies posting :) So disregard that previous post... and maybe eventually I'll learn how to edit posts and this wouldn't me necessary! :)

    Hey! new to the forums and writing Simlit. I'm aware that the index is inactive, so in terms of promoting my story, would i post links here or somewhere else?

    Most people promote their stories in the Writer's Lounge thread. It's a good place to just hang out with others too.
